If you only know Australia for 【小题1】 (it) kangaroos and cotton (棉花), then you are behind the times. Now, Australia is said 【小题2】 be the best place 【小题3】 live in the world.

According to a survey, Melbourne in Australia is the most livable city in the world. This is the first time since 2002 【小题4】 Melbourne was 【小题5】 (name) the best city to live in.

Melbourne, the second-biggest city in Australia, won in every area. More than 40 percent of Melbourne is covered by trees and grass. The city is home to people from more than 223 【小题6】 (country) and regions. There aren’t many cars in the city. Trains, streetcars and buses make up Melbourne’s public transportation system. There are also many sporting events that are 【小题7】 (hold) there, such as the Australian Open and the F1 Racing Championship.

Vienna, Austria is second 【小题8】 (介词) the list. It is a popular city for tourism (旅游业). The city is surrounded (环绕) by great forests and crossed by the beautiful Danube River. 【小题9】 (介词) the capital of Austria, Vienna is nicknamed “the city of music” and 【小题10】 (host) many great concerts every year.

Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them   protect natural environment as well as the plants and animals that live there,   but     a few are in towns and cities.

There are nine National Parks in England. The first t【小题1】were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.

Many   National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where n【小题2】lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and some activities. As a result, National Parks in England i【小题3】 places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life.

There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle and many of the parks organize activities for families.

There are about 110,000,000 visitors to the parks every year. They bring many benefits to the areas but c【小题4】problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be crowded with visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; local people can h【小题5】afford to buy houses in popular places.

Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is especially d【小题6】to animals. Broken glass can also get other things, like leaves, on fire by focusing the rays of the sun. When they start in wild places, they are much harder to c【小题7】and can damage large areas very quickly.

All National Parks in England promote the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.
